Can't See Past The End of My TaskVision

OK, so I wanted to start implementing a simple system for managing my projects, without the expense of MS Project. I also wanted something that I could access on my Pocket PC. So I downloaded and installed the MS TaskVision client and server programs...

And so the fun begins. First, I implement my own server. Because the installation failed, having not detected a SQL server on my production box (thank God because there isn't one, if it had I would have been worried). I was able to catch the files before the Installer deleted them, and moved them to another directory.

I then pointed a new IIS web to that directory, and got the web services working. Fine so far. I add a directive to enable HTTP POSTs to the web service test form. I can query data in and out with the form just fine. The problems started when I installed the client.

Instead of getting a really specific error after I change the web service URLs, I get a vague "I don't want to work so &#$% you" error. Kinda hard to troubleshoot those, eh Vertigo Software?

Which brings me to another point. I just read a post about how they created teh Quake II.NET engine, and I can't say that I'm impressed. Personally, I think the quality of the code is lacking. Give me 30 minutes and I'll point you to about 40 flaws in the ASP.NET Commerce Starter Kit.

But I digress. Anyways, if any of you could help, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
